SAPPORO, JAPAN - Australia avoided the first big upset of the Rugby World Cup when they rallied from 21-12 down to beat Fiji 39-21 in Pool D on Saturday .

Then, Australia tightened up and exposed Fiji's maul to send Latu over twice in the space of five minutes. That pool-stage record was in major danger when Fiji winger Josua Tuisova rampaged down the right wing in the early exchanges, bursting through one tackle and fending off another, to set up the try for flanker Yato.
